Rear suspension install. Triangulated 4 link, with all the suspension points plotted in a program to "theoretically" give us a decent roll center and traction. I'm not an engineer, but the numbers are ok.




Front and rear brakes are Kore3 C5 stuff. The rear is interesting, its for a ford 9 inch but we made custom housing ends that use mopar axles and torino offset/bolt pattern.




Here is the frame on the ground!

Machined body mounts (ok so it HAS to be pro touring if it has these right? )

Trial body mounting





Here is the custom firewall. Those hemis are huge! Had to do a 6 inch setback, BUT the plymouths had a larger interior compartment that the dodges, and our client is shorter so its ok. Plus we raised the floor a bit, so we tried to get rid of the bent knee street rod syndrome

I vote to keep the paint as is, as long as it's not fake patina.
Nice work !

Its real patina all right! The only fake patina on it is around our body mods and repair, to try and hide it!!!!

I dont know, when I post some pics of all the front end components in the engine bay in original green, it looks pretty slick. I am torn right now, don't know which way I would go.
